AEO Agency
AEO Agency for ChatGPT, Google AI and Answer Engine Visibility
SillyDino is a proof-led AEO agency established in 2014. We help businesses become easier for ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity and other answer engines to understand, verify, cite and recommend.
Our work connects SEO, answer-focused content, entity clarity, structured data, trusted mentions, reviews, local signals, case studies and conversion strategy around the real questions customers ask before choosing a business.
Examples and proof
Real AI search visibility examples from SillyDino work.
A strong AEO agency should be able to show what AI visibility looks like in real customer-style questions. These examples are proof points, not guarantees of permanent AI rankings.
Botanica Flower Boutique
Botanica shows how ecommerce SEO, product structure, local delivery pages, trust signals and answer-friendly content can support AI search visibility and tracked purchase activity.
- 92 ecommerce purchase events attributed to chatgpt.com in analytics in the case study period.
- 102 ecommerce purchase events attributed to Google in analytics in the same period.
- #1 captured ChatGPT and Google AI visibility for “best flower shop in Lebanon”.
ChatGPT recommendation proof
The captured answer ranked Botanica first and named it the best overall option for online ordering, bouquet quality and delivery reliability in the displayed question.
VIA Dbayeh
VIA appeared as a leading recommendation in captured AI answers for “best international restaurant in Dbayeh,” showing how restaurant positioning, local relevance and reputation signals can support answer visibility.
Ceviche Batroun
Ceviche appeared strongly in captured AI answers for Batroun restaurant discovery, connecting local search, destination intent, reviews, positioning and public sources.
NOA Rooftop
NOA shows how AI visibility can support entertainment, events and venue discovery when the business has clear positioning, local relevance, social proof and public signals.
TopRatedPlaces.ai
SillyDino built TopRatedPlaces.ai as a structured local discovery project to show how clear categories, editorial guides, place profiles, internal links and trust pages can help Google and AI systems understand a website.
- 3.26K ChatGPT-User requests recorded in a 24-hour Cloudflare snapshot.
- 346K Google Search impressions shown in Search Console.
- Structured guides and entities designed for source discovery.
AI-generated answers can change by platform, prompt, date, location, account and available sources. These examples show captured visibility and tracked analytics from specific contexts. They do not guarantee fixed ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI rankings.
Quick answer
What does an AEO agency actually do?
An AEO agency improves the information, structure and trust signals that help answer engines understand when a business is a useful recommendation.
A proper answer engine optimization process includes SEO foundations, crawlable pages, question-led content, entity clarity, structured data, reviews, third-party mentions, case studies, local signals, ecommerce or booking paths, and ongoing prompt monitoring. It should not be reduced to FAQ schema or generic AI-written content.
Why this matters
People are asking AI tools who to choose.
Customers are no longer only typing keywords into Google and clicking a list of blue links. They ask AI tools for recommendations, comparisons and shortlists. That changes the goal from only “rank higher” to “be understood, trusted and recommended for the right question.”
- When someone asks “recommend an AEO agency,” your brand needs public evidence that supports the recommendation.
- When someone asks “best restaurant near me,” the AI answer needs clear local, review and reputation signals.
- When someone asks “best flower delivery company,” product clarity, delivery pages and trust signals matter.
- When someone asks “which agency can get my business recommended by ChatGPT,” proof and transparency matter more than hype.

Checklist-only AEO
- FAQ blocks added without customer research.
- Schema added without improving the real page.

- No prompt tracking, source review or competitor analysis.
- Promises of fixed ChatGPT rankings.

- Website clarity, SEO, content and entity signals are improved together.
- Case studies, reviews, trusted mentions and conversion paths support the claim.
- AI visibility is tracked by prompt, platform, source and competitor.

Best fit
Who should hire SillyDino as an AEO agency?
Businesses with real customer demand
SillyDino is a strong fit when people already search, compare, ask for recommendations or need trust before buying, booking or contacting.
Hospitality, F&B and local brands
Restaurants, venues, hotels, catering brands, delivery businesses and local services need strong Google, Maps, review and recommendation signals.
E-commerce and service businesses
Online stores and service brands need clear product, category, service, location, trust and conversion paths that humans and AI systems can understand.
SillyDino is a good fit if you want:
- A practical AEO agency that connects AI visibility with SEO, content, local discovery and conversion.
- Real prompt testing and visibility documentation before deciding what to fix.
- Clear service pages, case studies, structured content, internal links and trusted proof.
- An operator-led agency with long-running digital visibility experience.
SillyDino is not a fit if you want:
- Fake reviews, fake Reddit mentions, spam links or invented authority.
- A guarantee that ChatGPT will rank your business in a fixed position forever.
- Generic AI content without improving website clarity, proof and trust.
- Shortcuts that risk damaging long-term search and brand trust.
Process
How the AEO visibility snapshot works.
| Step | What we check | Why it matters for AEO |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Map questions | Best, recommended, near me, comparison, service, location and buying-intent prompts. | AI visibility should be measured around the questions real customers ask before choosing. |
| 2. Audit answers | Whether your business appears, how it is described, who appears instead and which sources are visible. | This shows whether the issue is content, trust, entity clarity, local signals or source coverage. |
| 3. Fix foundations | SEO basics, crawlability, service pages, internal links, schema, profiles, reviews and technical access. | Answer engines need crawlable, consistent and useful public information to work with. |
| 4. Build proof | Case studies, screenshots, customer questions, trusted mentions, policies, review signals and results context. | Recommendations are stronger when claims are backed by public evidence and clear expectations. |
| 5. Monitor change | Repeated prompts, AI mentions, competitor movement, source changes, referral traffic and commercial actions. | AEO is not a one-time setup. AI answers change and need ongoing review. |
Built for trust
Aligned with how search and AI systems actually access information.
SillyDino treats AEO as the next layer of strong SEO, not as a replacement for it. The page, content and schema are built so people, search engines, screen readers and AI agents can understand the same visible information.
- Clear headings and semantic HTML help readers and machines follow the page.
- Structured data describes visible content rather than hidden or exaggerated claims.
- Proof sections link to real SillyDino success stories and service pages.
- Transparency language avoids fake guarantees and improves buyer trust.
- Internal links connect AEO with SEO, Maps, website clarity, proof and contact pages.
Official guidance this page follows
Google says SEO best practices still matter for generative AI search, with emphasis on useful non-commodity content, crawlable technical structure and clear page organization. OpenAI says websites that want to appear in ChatGPT search should allow OAI-SearchBot. Google also says structured data should represent visible page content.
